Reporters waiting for the daily State Department press briefing were overheard slamming the NRA press conference for content as well as their inability to control the room. "They [The NRA] basically said it's [the CT shooting] everybody's fault but ours," said one reporter as he lamented that the chair did not mention assault weapons. A woman added that Lisa Fithian and the other code pink protesters "did a really good job." The female reporter praised the Code Pink protesters for having big enough signs to cover the NRA Chair's head to obstruct it from being viewed by the cameras. The group then laughed about the security at the NRA event claiming that the chair was "probably packing" and that surely no one would be "stupid enough" to pull a gun. They also said that the security of the event looked like WWF wrestlers and joked that they probably hit Lisa Fithian with a chair after they dragged her from the room
